MENACE OF THE HIGHWAY, The Whig realizes what the situation is when it says that unless the city immediately takes steps to keep the dust on the Barriefield Hill down, by frequent watering, there will be various sorrowful accidents. Said a citiven who had an exciting experience last evening: "Kingston, Jor Kingston's counell, cannot afford to delay one day in patting on a water- ing cart and allaying the dust. I never had before. Trafic was at its height Autos and rigs of every another. - How I managed to escape disaster-1 do not know, My driver; had to keep moving, in order to avoid collision 'from those behind, while 1 was in constant fear of colliding with some one before. I surely will not voluntarily go through another thrill of the same kind." \ The Whig's staff representatfve who is in daily attendance at the camp puts it bluntly and positively thug: "The dangers of the camp road are very great. Something has to be dyne to keep down the blinding dust or regulate the traffic on Barrigfield Hill; or some of these there will be a tragedy. The expense may be considerable, but lifé is worth a good deal, and it must be protected at any cost." > The duty of the Mayor and City Council is plain. It is to call a meet- ing at once--at'once, mark you, not to-morrow or next week, for action cannot be deferred--and deal with the emergency. The tide of travel between the city and camp ground is very great, and it must be conducted with all the safeguards that a representative body can suggest and enforce. | things are allowed to continue the way they are at present. v a « RE I came through an ordeal the like of which || LUCINIS HENDERSON At Griffin's THeatre to-day and to- morrow. i A son, "Thrown To The Lions" from the story by one of the best known and popular authors of America Wal- lace Irwin, Included in our programme will | be the fifth episode of the mysterious serial "The Iron Claw" featuring | Pearl White and Creighton Hale, al- | so our regular programme of high class photoplays, | At The Strand. | The presentation of "The Three | Musketeers" Alex Dumas' great work, at the Strand last evening was | greeted with a good house.

The situations arising from Fairbank's endeavor to comply with his dad's wishes are extremely funny and have been highly praised by all the New York press writers. Mr. and Mrs. F. G.
